23. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Floating and Positioning The normal flow:  Block elements laid from top to bottom  Text elements laid from left to right, flowing in the block element  Objects in the normal flow influence surrounding objects  Floating and positioning change the normal flow

24. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Floating image Proca, rex Albanorum, duos filios Numitorem et Amulium habuit. Numitori, qui natu major erat, regnum legavit. Sed Amulio, ira incitatus, fratrem suo regno expulit… img.right {float:right; margin: 10px;}

25. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Floating text This is a sidenote on the right explaining some latin… Proca, rex Albanorum, duos filios Numitorem et Amulium habuit… span.sidenote {float:right; margin: 10px; background-color: #999; width:200px;}

26. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Floating various elements Elements floated in the same direction:  each object will move in that direction until it reaches the edge of the containing block  if there is not enough room, the second object will move down

27. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Clearing img {float: left;} h2 {clear: left;}

28. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Positioning 4 types:  static: normal way, objects are rendered in order  relative: moves the element box preserving the original space  absolute: object is removed from the flow and positioned relative to their containing block  fixed: similar to absolute, but object is positioned relative to the viewport

29. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Positioning II div {position: absolute; width: 400px; height: 250px; background-color: #CCC; } img {position: absolute; bottom: 0%; left: 0%;} img {position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 0%;}

30. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Positioning III div.a {position: absolute; width: 300px; height: 120px; background-color: #CCC; } div.b {position: absolute; top:20px; bottom: 40px; left: 50px; right: 30px; background-color: #666; }

31. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Positioning IV: z-index p {position: absolute; padding: 5px; color: black;} #p1 {z-index: 19; background-color: red;} #p2 {z-index: 1; background-color: blue;} span.b {z-index: 72; background-color: green;} Paragraph 1, z-index=19 Paragraph 2, z-index=1. This is a span with z-index 72 And now some more text…

32. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Absolute positioning Relative to the edges of the containing block using offset properties Object is removed from the document flow

33. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Absolute positioning II #one {position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 10px;} #two {position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 10px;} #three {position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 10px;} p1 p3 p1 p3 10px 30px Viewport

34. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Fixed positioning Relative to the edges of the viewport (browser window) Object is removed from the document flow

35. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Fixed positioning II p, h1 {margin-left: 150px;} ul {position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px;}

36. Digital Media: Communication and DesignF2007 Relative positioning Relative to the object’s initial position in the normal flow The original space in the document flow is preserved em {position: relative; top: -36px; right: -36px; background-color: #ccc;}
